County SUPERINTENDENT.

In accordance with the new school law
passed by the late Legislature, it will be
in order for County Commissioners to
order at any time the election of super
intendent OF county schools at the next
general election, pending which the Com
siOners are clothed with authority to ap-
point such an officer. 1t is probable that
the commissioners of Tarrant county
will take an early opportunity Of making
this appointment. County Judge Furman
is greatly in favor of this plan and wishes
to be relieved at the earliest opportunity
of the public school business of the
county. He has managed this admir-
ably during his administration, despite
the fact that his judicial duties
proper have scarcely given him any time
to devote to this most important matter.
The office of county superintendent of
pubic schools is one of high responsible
ity. Itneeds man who is possessed not
only of good scholarship, but VINO feels
an earnest interest in educational work;
a man who would take pride in seeing the
country schools move forward to q degree
of efficiency and usefulness they have not
hitherto attained Other things be 1g
equal man who had acquired practical
experience in the schoOI-rOOm would be
the best fitted for the place.

New Life.

The benefcent results of the rain have
already commenced to quicken the cur
rents of trade and to start anew the re-
markable activity in real estate that ere
ated such stir in Fort Worth few short
weeks ago. Among the indications Of
the revival was the sale yesterday Of
two fine pieces of suburban property, the
aggregate purchase money being $50, 900.
Mr.. Louis o. Smith of Reno county,
Kansas, representing syndicate of Kan
sas capitalists, bought 200 acres of the
Milt BOwles place, mile south of the
Missouri Pacific hospital, for $3.50
per acre, or $4,000 for the tract.
The same gentleman also bought
of Mr.. r. E. Maddox, 200 acres in the
same locality for which ne paid $50, 900.
In all, Saturdays sales footed up the
snug sum of $4,000. Old Pluvius

The RenItS Movement.

Since the late rains the inquiry for city
property has revived sharply, particularly
for residence property. While prices
cannot be said to have advanced, the
feeling of confidence has been strength
ened and values are stiffened as s cOnse-
qutGce. The activity that prevailed a
month ago is confidently expected to re
turn, as the conditions that brought it
about are more favorable than ever.
Among the transfers recorded yester-
day was q deed from J. 2. Smith to A. T.
Byers, conveying an undivided One-half
interest in 1916 acres on the north side of
the river, opposite the city, for SlS,5

A RepRrns fhA Rain.

The farmers that came into Fort Worth
Saturday felt better at heart than they
had for months past. One said to a
GAZETTE man: ''It's worth more than
two railroads"
Planters aver that already the revivify-
ing effects Of moisture can be told in the
changed looks of the fields. Mr.. Arch
Earl, living four miles northeast of
the city, said he. had a
piece of rye that he thought
dead. It looked as withered as leaves in
autumn, but now wears such g beautiful
emerald hue that he can hardly recognize
it as the same piece of ground.
Oats can almost be seen in the act of
growing, if some of the statements made
